There are a ton of awpers who would be more impactful than broky in that same faze slot. Syrson, xse, acor, jame, farlig, fallen, and poizon are all far better with awp. I'm not even convinced hes the best awper on faze

The early phase of FP was still being played on LAN, their decision had nothing to do with the pandemic, they were offered a spot in EPL and took it after qualifying for FP. Otherwise the other european teams wouldn't have been there either.

Of course Corona was well-known by the time FP started, but BIG played EPL for the prestige of the tournament.

It was so obscene to watch the reaction of this sub, when big were already doing it in T2 CS (especially on inferno and around in cache around whitebox) and other T2 teams had counter-stratted it. Like yeah it was a bug, and big was the biggest abuser of it, but it was obvious that nobody watched demos of them and just tried to outfrag them and get the free W, and got dicked

I loved it, BIG had put the hours in the game theory crafting and testing until they pushed the game to its breaking point. When everyone had a gentlemens agreement to stop using it (then used it anyway) I was let down. I wanted a team to abuse the hell out of it for the wins. Big up to big at that event.
